IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

To reduce the risk of explosion, fire, death, electric shock, injury or scalding to persons when using this product, follow basic precautions, including the following:

Technical Safety

• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

• If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

• Use a new hose or hose-set supplied with the appliance. Reusing old hoses can cause a water leak and subsequent property damage.

• Ventilation openings must not be obstructed by a carpet.

• This appliance is intended to be used in household only and not in applications such as:

- Staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and other working environments;

- Farm houses;

- By clients in hotels, motels and other residential type environments;

- Bed and breakfast type environments;

- Areas for communal use in blocks of flats or in launderettes

• The inlet water pressure must be between 30 and 800 kPa.

• The maximum capacity in some cycles for dry clothes to be washed is 11 kg.

Installation

• Never attempt to operate the appliance if it is damaged, malfunctioning, partially disassembled, or has missing or broken parts, including a damaged cord or plug.

• This appliance should only be transported by two or more people holding the appliance securely.

• Do not install the appliance in a damp and dusty place. Do not install or store the appliance in any outdoor area, or any area that is subject to weathering conditions such as direct sunlight, wind, rain, or temperatures below freezing.

• Make sure the power plug is completely pushed into the power outlet.

• Do not plug the appliance into multiple socket outlets or an extension power cable.

• Do not modify the power plug provided with the appliance. If it does not fit the power outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

• This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current.

• This appliance is equipped with a power cord having an equipment- grounding conductor and a grounding power plug. The power plug must be plugged into an appropriate socket outlet that is installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

• Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

• Tighten and secure the drain hose at connecting ends to avoid separation.

• For models with only one inlet water supply valve, do not connect to hot water. Connect to cold water only.

Operation

• Do not use a sharp object such as a knife or scissors to tamper with, or operate the unit.

• Do not attempt to separate any panels or disassemble the appliance.

• Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance. All repairs and servicing must be performed by qualified service personnel unless specifically recommended in this Owner’s Manual. Use only authorized factory parts.

• Do not put animals, such as pets into the appliance.

• Keep the area underneath and around the appliance free of combustible materials such as lint, paper, rags, chemicals, etc.

• Do not leave the appliance door open. Children may hang on the door or crawl inside the appliance, causing damage or injury.

• Do not wash or dry articles that have been cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with combustible or explosive substances (such as waxes, wax removers, oil, paint, gasoline, degreasers, drycleaning solvents, kerosene, petrol, spot removers, turpentine, vegetable oil, cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, etc.). Improper use can cause fire or explosion.

• Never reach into the appliance while it is operating. Wait until the drum has completely stopped.

• In case of a water leak from the appliance, disconnect the power plug and contact the LG Electronics customer information centre.

• Turn off water taps to relieve pressure on hoses and valves and to minimize leakage if a break or rupture should occur. Check the condition of the fill hoses; they may need replacement after 5 years.

• Do not use or store flammable or combustible substances (ether, benzene, alcohol, chemical, LPG, combustible spray, insecticide, air freshener, cosmetics, etc.) near the appliance.

• If there is a gas leakage (isobutane, propane, natural gas, etc.) within the home, do not touch the appliance or power plug and ventilate the area immediately.

• If the drain hose or inlet hose is frozen during winter, use it only after thawing.

• Keep all washing detergents, softener and bleach away from children.

• Do not touch the power plug or the appliance controls with wet hands.

• Do not bend the power cable excessively or place a heavy object on it.

• Do not put your hand, foot or anything under the appliance while the appliance is in operation.

• Avoid touching any water that is drained from the appliance during the wash.

• Make sure that drainage is working properly. If water is not drained properly, your floor may get flooded.

• If, during spinning, opening the door does not stop the drum within about 10 seconds, immediately discontinue operating the appliance and contact your dealer or LG Electronics service centre.

• Do not use a power outlet, wiring equipment and extension cord of which the electric capacity is lower than the appliance’s rated capacity.

• When the air temperature is high and the water temperature is low, condensation may occur and thus wet the floor.

• Wipe off dirt or dust on the contacts of the power plug.

• Under certain conditions hydrogen gas may be produced in a water heater that has not been used for two weeks or more. Hydrogen gas can be explosive under these circumstances. If the HOT water has not been used for two weeks or more, prevent the possibility of damage or injury by turning on all Hot water taps and allowing them to run for several minutes. Do this before using any electrical appliance which is connected to the HOT water system. This simple procedure will allow any built-up hydrogen gas to escape. Since the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame or appliance during this process.

Maintenance

• Remove the power plug when you clean the appliance.

• Securely plug the power plug in the socket outlet after completely removing any moisture and dust.

• Do not spray water inside or outside the appliance to clean it.

• Never unplug the appliance by pulling on the power cable. Always grip the power plug firmly and pull straight out from the socket outlet.

• Only qualified service personnel from LG Electronics service centre should disassemble, repair, or modify the appliance. Contact an LG Electronics customer information centre if you move and install the appliance in a different location.

Disposal

• Before discarding an old appliance, unplug it. Cut off the cable directly behind the appliance to prevent misuse.

• Dispose of all packaging materials (such as plastic bags and styrofoam) away from children. The packaging materials can cause suffocation.

• Remove the door before disposing of or discarding this appliance to avoid the danger of children or small animals getting trapped inside.
